Avesoro Resources is a gold-focused mining company committed to operational excellence, sustainability, and continuous improvement.
As part of our growing operations, we are seeking a Resource Geologist to join our Geology / Technical Services team and support geological interpretation, 3D geological modelling, Mineral Resource Estimation, and the technical evaluation of exploration and mining projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and interpret drillhole, geological, structural, geochemical, and assay data to support geological modelling and resource evaluation activities.
- Develop, maintain, and update 3D geological and mineralisation models using Leapfrog Geo / Leapfrog Edge or equivalent geological modelling software.
- Support geological interpretation and modelling of lithology, alteration, mineralisation, weathering, and structural domains.
- Construct and update mineralised wireframes, geological solids, sections, and interpretation domains.
- Prepare and review composited assay datasets and perform basic statistical analysis to support resource estimation.
- Assist with the evaluation of grade distributions, high-grade outliers, top-cuts, and estimation domains.
- Perform visual and statistical validation of block models against drillhole and composite data.
- Review geological continuity, drill spacing, and data density to support resource classification and geological confidence.
- Identify areas requiring infill, step-out, or additional drilling to improve geological understanding and resource confidence.
- Incorporate new drilling, sampling, and exploration results into existing geological and resource models.
- Prepare geological sections, plans, 3D figures, models, and technical presentations for internal and external reporting.
- Support the preparation and review of JORC / NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimates and technical reports.
- Assist with technical due diligence and geological evaluation of potential acquisition, investment, and joint venture opportunities.
- Collaborate with exploration, mine geology, planning, and other Technical Services teams to ensure geological models and resource information effectively support operational and strategic decision-making.
